As I have said before, we don't have a problem with too many hunters killing 5, we have too many killing 1

Not only not what I am trying to say but literally not what I said. The fact that I think there are too many hunters out there has nothing to do with the total number of gobblers harvested affecting the overall population. I still think there are too many hunters killing one.
